Scones by DICE




Ingredients – 12 Scones


• 3 Cups plain flour
• 6 tsp Baking powder
• 75 gm Butter
• 1 ¼ Cups milk
• ¼ tsp Salt
• Extra Milk

Preparation


1. Preheat the oven to 220o C and flour a baking tray.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

3. Add the milk and mix in quickly. The mixture should be soft and sticky to ensure tender and light scones.

4. Flour a flat surface and scrape the dough onto it. Knead a few times and then pat the dough down or flatten it to 2cm thickness. Use a floured cup or round cutter to cut the dough into 12 even rounds.

5. Place the scones on the floured baking tray leaving them 2cm apart. When done, brush the tops with milk.

6. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool.

7. Serve with jam, butter and/or cream.

Tip: This is either breakfast or a tea-time snack that’s kind of a cross between a cake and a biscuit. Jam, butter and cream are the classic accompaniments for scones. There are other varieties. Google will help with those ;)

This is a dish we Keralites eat as an accompaniment to boiled rice and probably a couple of other additions.
